Announcing New Neuron ESB Connectors with CU4!

The Neuron ESB CU4 includes a number of new adapters/connectors. With ESBs, connectors are key piece of capability in the world of an integration broker. They serve as the bridge to and from the bus between applications, databases, transports and protocols.  The completeness of “what” you ship as well as how easy it is for others to build their own adapters is critical in accelerating the development of any solution.

New Neuron ESB Connectors!

Not only is Neuron ESB hands down one of the easiest adapter frameworks to learn in the industry, it also has pre-built adapters for most commodity transports, queuing technologies, databases and on-premise/cloud applications. However, we continue to deliver a more complete and richer set of connectors with every release. This update is no exception. Included below is a list of new connectors with CU4.

CertainSafe

Neuron ESB’s CertainSafe Adapter is the culmination of a partnership between the two companies. The adapter enhances your efforts to securely store and transmit encrypted secret data while leaving mundane information in clear text form. It does so by simplifying the steps you employ to interact with your CertainSafe Digital Vault from your Neuron ESB based integration infrastructure. Together Neuron ESB and CertainSafe enable automated data security for databases, files, processes, messages and API communications.

The Neuron ESB CertainSafe adapter functions in a Solicit/Response pattern in that the adapter listens for messages published to the bus based on its Topic. Those messages can contain data bound for secure storage and encryption by the CertainSafe service or tokens that map to previously secured data. The response from the CertainSafe Digital Vault service is a new token in the former case and the returned data in the latter.

Rabbit MQ

The Neuron ESB Rabbit MQ Adapter allows Neuron ESB to interact with Rabbit MQ in a variety of ways, with configurable levels of Transaction support and Quality of Service. Organizations can use the adapter to monitor Rabbit MQ Topics or Queues for new messages, forwarding those (i.e. publishing) to a Neuron ESB Topic where other subscribing parties (e.g. Adapter, Service or Workflow Endpoints) can receive the information. Conversely, the adapter can also be used to forward information published to or generated by Neuron ESB to either a Rabbit MQ Queue or Topic, essentially making Rabbit MQ a Neuron ESB subscriber. Both types of Rabbit MQ Transactions are supported (e.g. Transaction and Publish Confirms) as are Virtual Hosts, SSL and all the latest features of Rabbit MQ.

In Query mode, the AD server can be queried for information, or existing users and groups can be updated, added or deleted. Users and Groups can also be enabled/disabled and passwords can be reset.
